Noget kunne tyde på, at der måske er ved at opstå en lille forståelseskløft mellem Trump og Bruxelles om “handelsaftalen”… #eudk
Trump on his EU trade deal: "The details are $600 billion to invest in anything I want. Anything. I can do anything I want with it."

Holy shit this is real Soviet/N. Korean style stuff. After the dismal jobs report Trump is going to fire people who compile the data and replace them with hacks. The markets and American people will never be able to trust these numbers again.

The British trade deal wasn't what they said it was, the Vietnamese are still yet to confirm Trump's announcement, and the Japanese say they're not signing a binding agreement. The White House has released the text of ZERO (0) deals, and maybe it's all just social media posts all the way down.
"Japanese officials said there was no written agreement with Washington — and no legally binding one would be drawn up", and surprise surprise, they deny giving Trump $550b to arbitrarily spend however he wants. www.ft.com/content/c118...

Meeting the press!

Minister for Economic Affairs @stephanielose.venstre.dk just held her first doorstep as the president of #ECOFIN. "I want to hit the ground running," said the minister, "and we therefore have an important agenda already from the first ECOFIN."

Ukraine secretly delivered FPV drones and wooden mobile cabins into Russia. The drones were hidden under the roofs of the cabins, which were later mounted on trucks.

Germany has been on the back foot in Europe over the past few years. Chancellor Merz's visits to Paris and Warsaw today beg the question: will that now change?

Here's @jpuglierin.bsky.social's and my (very) cautiously upbeat assessment:

On foreign policy, Germany’s new chancellor will be pulled between conservatism and radicalism. For Europe’s sake, he must choose the latter

Trump’s popular standing is eroding. His approval rating has fallen by 14 points since he entered office, @economist.com poll shows. Nearly one in five of Trump’s own voters say they disapprove of his handling of inflation and prices.
